Pack Walk + Parkour

Workshop Description: Pack walks are structured, no-contact group walks where multiple dogs and their owners walk together. Parkour, also known as urban agility, is where dogs use their environment to climb, balance, and jump on everything from logs to park benches. The combination is a great activity for all dogs, especially those working on reactivity and socialization. Come learn more, give it a try, and see the benefits firsthand!

Shy to Social

Reactive to Relaxed

Workshop Description: If your dog barks, lunges, or growls at triggers like strangers or other animals, then this class is for you. You will learn how to handle those challenging outbursts confidently and effectively. We will work through techniques to help your dog stay calm, focused, and under threshold. Then, we will  address the root of the problem by shifting their emotional response, helping them view their triggers in a more positive light to prevent reactions before they even start.
